🚨 The hypocrisy is off the charts.
The SAME Never Trumpers who cheered when the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago are now SHRIEKING about “authoritarianism” because agents searched the vile John Bolton’s house and office.
Let’s take a look at their meltdown 👇🧵

2/ Olivia Troye in 2022:
👉 Praised the FBI for raiding Trump.
Olivia Troye in 2025:
👉 “This is authoritarianism!” because John Bolton got searched.
So it’s not “authoritarian” if it’s Trump’s house. Only if it’s their buddy’s.

3/ Chuck Todd lectured Republicans to “trust the FBI” and stay “calm” after the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Now? He’s raging that the Bureau is “Trump’s revenge squad.”
The only difference? The target isn’t Trump this time.

What FT really means is that If East and South Asian labor or equal or better quality were valued at parity with American or European labor, the entire scaffolding of the global economy as it’s structured now would shake.

production or move to new “undervalued” labor markets (Africa, Latin America, parts of SE Asia), which is already happening to some degree.
“Cheap labor” isn’t natural. It’s a moving target of exploitation that replaced outright slavery w/ performative as fuck pennies to the $.

1/ Utah is a Republican state—one that has been served by exclusively Republican governors for decades. And we’ve had decades of Republican majorities in both chambers of the legislature. Why, then, does Utah have a number of avowed leftists serving in its judicial system?
2/ Utah’s judicial nomination system is broken. Republican governors often end up naming left-wing judicial nominees who don’t share their views on the proper role of the courts—including basic concepts like textualism, originalism, and judicial modesty. It’s time for reform—to empower the governor to pick judges who align with the governor’s vision.
#UtahJudicialReform

3/ Here’s how it works today: For each judicial vacancy, a nominating commission (one per judicial district, plus an appellate commission for both the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals) solicits and reviews applications each time a judicial vacancy arises. Each commission consists of seven members appointed by the governor. Members of each commission must be U.S. citizens and Utah residents, and may not be legislators.
🚨 Christianity doesn’t just “allow” Capitalism.
📖 It commands it.
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture affirms private property, stewardship, and profitability on the Master’s investment.
Here’s why that truth horrifies the Left 👇

2/ The 8th Commandment bans theft.
The 10th bans coveting—even thinking about theft.
1 Sam. 8 bans taxes of 10% or more.
That’s the Bible drawing a hard line against envy and redistribution.
Socialism? Dead on arrival.

3/ Christian economics doesn’t start with scarcity like your college class.
It starts with ownership.
➡️ God owns everything, including you.
➡️ He delegates property to specific stewards.
➡️ He demands that we improve it.
➡️ He judges our faithfulness with it

why are growth and price stability considered to be more important than fixing the ludicrous SAME labor valuation gaps that created and perpetuated this mess in the first place?
this is why a) 99.999% of people need to take far more years of econ than they think they do

and b) they DO NOT WANT ppl looking closely at domestic and foreign education statistics
and c) they DO NOT WANT ppl to reflect on WHY EAST and SOUTH ASIANS ARE OBSESSED W EDUCATION
bc, shocker d) it is ONE OF THE ONLY WAYS to DEMONSTRATE your LABOR is WORTH AS MUCH OR MORE

🚨 NEW STUDY: Abortion DOUBLES women’s risk of psychiatric hospitalization.
For years, the abortion lobby told women they could “move on” after ending a pregnancy.
The science says otherwise. 🧵👇

Findings:

3/ The risk was highest in the first 5 years after abortion.
Women who had repeat abortions faced MUCH greater danger.
This isn’t “choice.” It’s trauma.

Homicide, the most serious of the crimes, has fallen to 14% below the rates of the first six months of 2019. Looking at the most recent trends, 11 of the 13 offenses included in the study were at lower levels in the first half of 2025 than in the first six months of 2024.

This is amazing. But I'm a bit more extreme than Maxime.
I hate to maintain any more code than necessary. To me, code is debt.
So I'd replace the raw 60-liner here with just a 2-liner.

If not obvious, these 2 lines are doing the work of 60 lines, but better. They come with lots of implicit functionality for reliability, portability, and readiness for optimization.
I don't think the 2-liner is special. I think the 60-liners are dumb:

So much of the argument for DSPy isn't something like "the paradigm is amazing and super powerful".
Way too much of it for my taste is just that "the BS things you have to do otherwise are unbearably stupid". Wish we could focus on strengths.
